    OCC 469 - restoring & running a "sharkstooth" 2000

    Been there, done that Phil so I feel for you. Mine was exhaust valve related but it's really frustrating when you are so meticulous in a rebuild or overhaul only to experience problems after a few thousand miles. Probably a feature of old cars :). The only time I had clouds of white smoke...

    Rover p6b restoration

    I've done that repair in the past too. Made a few small panels and was quite pleased with myself.

    Garage refurbishment

    That does look good. If only I had just the one car.

    Lockdown Jobs

    I would love to have the time to do those jobs, but like others who have kids and are able to work from home, my days have been split between childcare and homeworking. So my projects have gone pretty much untouched for the entire period of lockdown.

    Rover p6b restoration

    You must have a steady hand to use a handheld visor. I need to use both hands to steady the torch when I'm welding. Great work by the way. Been there and done that a few times.

    OCC 469 - restoring & running a "sharkstooth" 2000

    This really is a great thread Phil. I'm learning so much about early cars from this. That rear brake pad contact is fantastic - and solid drive shafts - well I never!

    Yorkshire Rover Show

    I'm taking the Lady C to this one. I hadn't realised it was the Richard Taylor classic show, for those of you who remember Richard.

    beam speed limits and traffic information directly into cars

    Some parts of the UK haven't even got 1G yet so how are they going to ensure complete coverage. More Govt b*ll*cks as H says :D

    Front Caliper Rebuild

    A foot pump is my goto for applying a little pressure to a brake caliper to free stuck pistons.

    is it worth getting the Flu Jab?

    I've had a flu jab every year for the past 3 years. I got hit with flu the year before I started getting the jab and it knocked me for six. "Never again" I said. Also having 2 very young boys in the house I want to minimise their exposure to flu. Christ, it's bad enough when they get a cough...

    check your car on MIB, is it insured?

    Very handy, thanks. I often find myself wondering if I did actually renew the insurance.
